OpenPrevue Privacy Policy

1. Overview & Commitment

OpenPrevue (https://openprevue.com and https://openprevue.web.app) is an open-source educational project providing a real-time glanceable event schedule board and AI agent protocol engine. We are committed to transparency regarding how information is collected, processed, and protected when you visit this website.

2. Google Analytics & Firebase Usage

This website utilizes Google Analytics for Firebase, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC ("Google"). Google Analytics assists us in analyzing overall traffic trends, understanding how visitors interact with the event schedule guide, and detecting runtime anomalies across diverse browsers and devices.

The information collected through Google Analytics includes pseudonymous and non-personally identifiable technical telemetry, such as:

• * Operating system, browser type, and browser language settings
• * Screen resolution and device category (desktop, tablet, mobile)
• * Referring website address and search engine terms that directed you to OpenPrevue
• * Approximate geographic location based on anonymized IP addresses (city and country level only)
• * Page interaction metrics, session duration, and navigation events within the simulator

Google Analytics 4 operates with IP anonymization by default. Individual IP addresses are not logged, exposed, or permanently retained on Google servers.

3. Cookies & Tracking Identifiers

Google Analytics places small text files called cookies on your device to differentiate unique visitor sessions across page visits. These cookies include:

• * `_ga`: Used to distinguish unique users by generating a randomized, anonymous client identifier. Expires after 2 years unless cleared manually.
• * `_ga_<container-id>`: Used by Google Analytics 4 to maintain session state. Expires after 2 years.

These cookies do not contain passwords, personal email addresses, phone numbers, or billing details. You can disable or remove cookies at any time through your browser preferences.

4. Browser Local Storage

In addition to analytics cookies, OpenPrevue uses standard browser `localStorage` solely to persist your client-side user experience settings between visits:

• * CRT scanline shader and bloom vignette display toggle states
• * 90s commercial breaks and retro audio sound effects preferences
• * Selected metro city feed preference for the live simulator
• * Audio player deck volume levels

Local storage keys remain strictly on your local computer or mobile device and are never transmitted to external servers.

5. Third-Party Service Providers

OpenPrevue integrates with select third-party infrastructure providers:

• * Google LLC (Firebase Hosting & Google Analytics): Serves static website files and compiles aggregate visitor telemetry under the Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
• * Spotify AB: Provides the embedded web audio player and streaming audio playlist. Spotify's privacy practices are governed by their privacy policy: https://www.spotify.com/legal/privacy-policy/
• * GitHub Inc.: Hosts the open-source code repository, issue tracker, container packages, and automated release tags.

6. Your Privacy Rights & Opt-Out Choices

You retain complete control over how your data is collected and processed:

• * Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on: You can prevent Google Analytics from using your data by installing the official opt-out extension: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
• * Browser Cookie Controls: You can configure your browser to reject all cookies or notify you when a cookie is issued.
• * Global Privacy Control (GPC) & Do Not Track: OpenPrevue honors browser-level privacy signals requesting that your browsing session not be tracked.

7. Children's Privacy

OpenPrevue is a general-audience educational utility and open-source project. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13.
